Visual Tracking eXchange protocol is a simple protocol that enables easier evaluation of computer vision tracking algorithms. The basic idea is that a tracker communicates with the evaluation software using a set of textual commands over the (standard) input/output streams.
libtrax is a reference C implementation for the Tracking eXchange protocol that enables researchers to quickly add support for the protocol in their C or C++ tracker (servers) as well as client tools.
Examples of integration in a tracker are provided in the trackers directory. A simple static tracker is available that explains the basic concept of the integration without too much logic. A more complex example is available in the form of the OpenCV implementation of the CamShift tracker.
Matlab TraX implementation together with the specific documentation is available in the matlab directory.
